Which Should You Buy?
Bois d'Encens is a divisive frankincense bomb - genuinely profound for some, a short-lived disappointment for others. If you crave that dry, liturgical church vibe, this is your spiritual journey in a bottle, but its hit-or-miss performance is a real sticking point.
This one's a divisive oud, with some calling it a masterpiece of smooth, wearable oud for beginners and others finding it disappointingly weak or even vile. If you're into an easy-going Western oud, you might just love it.

It's too profound for casual wear and the mixed performance means it might not always last a full workday.
